Great! I have started mopping up a few missing BMBs. There are still some of my marriages missing. I don't believe the transcriptions give comprehensive coverage of the early registers.

I'm really confused now, as looking back through old threads on here, FMP already had a Buckinghamshire Marriage Index, released last December. I guess they have added some more records to it this time round?

Kate, I found one marriage I didn't find before for one set of 7x-great-grandparents, so I think they have added to it.

Is it just me or are others finding brides' names on marriages only recorded in their married names?

I did wonder that because the one I found was Thomas Smith marrying Abigail Smith!

Also Thomas White marrying Hannah White.

I think it's *all* the marriages, which is frustrating because I'm finding several I need but without the bride's surname

It's also pretty useless for marriages before 1700.
I have used the marriage index before at the Centre for Buckinghamshire Studies as once a week they have someone from the FHS who does look-ups for you. They kept telling me it is complete but there are obviously gaps. |

A lot of my brick walls still remain. At the Centre for Buckinghamshire Studies a burial shows for Thomas Bailey at Grendon Underwood in 1767, but it doesn't appear in FMP.

Yes, I found one of those this morning - the only marriage I've looked up on there so far. I went on FamilySearch to check what it should be and kept getting an error message but I managed to find it on ancestry's copy of FamilySearch's database and her surname was different. I assumed it was a one-off error but it seems not! The "Findmypast Fridays" blog doesn't allow comments any more, so I will have a look on Facebook to see whether they have been asked about it on there.
